| − | ===Basic Description===
| |
| − | | |
| − | A module that boosts the speed of the ship when activated for closing down a target, or escaping an enemy. They can also be used to help boost your transveral speed against an enemy and therefore make it harder for bigger ships in particular to score a [[Turret Damage|successful hit]] against you.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Afterburners take up a medium power slot on your ship fitting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are different sizes of Afterburner based on basic ship hull size. A rough guide :
| |
| − | | |
| − | * 1MN = Frigate size
| |
| − | * 10MN = Cruiser/Battle Cruiser
| |
| − | * 100MN = Battleship+
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ===Drawbacks===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Extra capacitor consumption as it cycles
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Longer ship alignment speeds whilst it is active.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Afterburners don't provide anywhere near as much of a speed boost as a Microwarpdrive, (roughly 100% boost rather than 500% depending on variations) but come with less penalties.

| − | ===Advantages vs a Microwarpdrive ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Considerably less skill and fitting requirements
| |
| − | | |
| − | * They can still be used in Mission deadspaces that interfere with warp fields.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * They don't have a penalty to Capacitor size
| |
| − | | |
| − | * They don't have a penalty to ship signature size whilst active.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * They aren't affected by your ship being Warp Scrambled.
